The Casperkill slides quietly behind the back lots on the Spackenkill side, and the lawns above it grow fast and thick through a wet June. Carmine's Lawn & Landscaping LLC keeps that growth in hand — weekly mowing, string-trimmed fence lines, shrubs brought back to shape, mulch laid dark around the foundation plantings. There is a particular satisfaction in the last pass of the day, when the engine shuts off and the yard goes still and even. Dutchess County summers push hard, so the schedule pushes back, week on week from the first flush of April to the last warm stretch of October. Poughkeepsie yards, kept the way their owners picture them.
